Does your spouse get along with your Mom?

[gittyup]

Fortunately, my wife gets along with my Mom more than she does with her own Mom. It may be due to more of a generation gap. My wife's Mom is like 64 and my Mom is 53. Anyway, it does make my life easier. I have heard horror stories friend how they just can't stand their mother-in-laws. Any comments from the married folks around here?

Marriage is long way ahead of me, I dunno, maybe I won't get married, who knows, and if I do, his mom and I can have girls night out, which would be cool

I dunno wha tI'm saying, just babbling

The Mister gets along very well with both my parents... they adore him, sometimes making me feel a bit jealous! But, my parents are really loving, nurturing people... they make a real effort to embrace all their children-in-law. I am very happy that they are so proud of the Mister, and I am happy to have him share in that relationship.

As for the Mister's parents.... well, we get along. I've learned to get along with everyone, no matter how poorly they behave. I know this much though... the Mister is MUCH closer to my parents than he is to his own, so that ought to tell you something. You reap what you sow in relationships... you can be sure of that.

My wife and my Mom get along pretty well---especially considering that they work together. And my wife's Mom thinks I'm great, or so my wife says.

Yes.

My husband got along great with both of my parents. I get along with my mother in law, even though she is a nutcase.:Q

My wife never got to meet my mom, a wonderful woman who is taking her well deserved dirt nap. HER mom, on the other hand, is alive and well and making life miserable for all around her.
Short version: I guess I should have know I was in for trouble when my then new wife called me to say her mother had just smacked her in the face and threw her out of the house after finding out she married &quot;that fvcking beloved patriot&quot;. We married on the sly. It has only gone down hill from there in the ensuing eight years. It's bad enough so that I have contemplated divorce just because I can't take the aggravation of her mother and some of her other family members, as well.
Lesson to be learned? When you consider marriage, you'd be wise to consider the potential in laws because, like it or not, they will play a big part in your future happiness or misery index.

I get along with my in-laws but I don't really have much in common with them. My wife gets along great with my parents and in fact prefers them in many situations over her own.

My wife grew up in a lower middle class steel mill worker's family and I grew up in a down to earth,white collar, Upper Middle Class to Upper Class family. My wife feels intimidated by my mother and the &quot;tickets she punched&quot; in life. They get along fine with the exception of the intimidation factor and when it comes to raising the kids. Different values and different viewpoints from different &quot;classes&quot; of people.

That's how I met her, through my mother.

We all get along great - I'm very very grateful for it.

Carbo: Ouch, that sucks! Can you move away from these folks or something?

My hubby and mother get on well, there is only two years between them so they happily talk about 'the days when'. Dad hasnt met my hubby yet so who knows.

Probably not. Because for all of their criticisms of me, when there is any kind of need or want on their part, yours truly is the first, and often only, option they pursue for assistance. That assistance is usually my money, by the way. My wife is a flight attendant and, whenever the urge strikes, this witch is on a plane and planting her fat rump in my house for six months at a time. I recently booted her 30 year old daughter out of my house after a four month stay. This created an uproar because they felt she was owed a six month stay, on me, to get away from the pressures of her life in South America. After four months of watching her watch TV, talk on the telephone for six hours a day, literally, and sometimes even more, and contribute to a 25% increase in my grocery bill I pointed the way to the door. We are seriously planning a move. But, as long as they receive flight benefits, I fear they will find my couch and refrigerator once again.
